A nearby PC, equipped with Bluetooth, acts as a server for the robot. The robot, also connected to a Bluetooth device, is able to exchange data with the PC using the wireless communication offered by Bluetooth. Additionally, the server PC is able to communicate with the Wiimote via Bluetooth- which is natively installed on the Wiimote (in fact, Bluetooth is used by the Wiimote to communicate with the Nintendo Wii, as well). Thus, with the proper setup, the Wiimote can be used to send data to the server PC, which can then interpret the input and relay commands to the Vex robot. The figure below shows the communication setup for the system.
